For the following section we are indebted to Prof. Flinders Petrie :—

detail. The whole result is published already in The Temple of the Kings,
with twenty-six plates (five double and five photographs). (Quaritch.)

" Mariette's publication of this temple is almost unattainably rare, and,
strange to say, deals with hardly anything but the seven chapels, and some

fac-similes will not be superseded by an entire publication.

" The principal results from the excavations were the discovery of the
temenos wall, and of an enormous tomb in the temenos. The temenos
